I've deliberately refrained from commenting, until now, as I felt the dust needed to settle from Rob etc deciding to resign.

Reading through the details, in the various comments, it strikes me there are several options/ direction the club/forum could go.

Stay with DOC, allowing the core of the club to be changed over time by the dictates of Italy.
Resign from DOC at the end of the year, therefore allowing UKMOC and any signatures to any legal documents the ability to move away from DOC without reprocessions.
These two would require a new ( larger)team to run the club/forum, steering UKMOC into the future.

Close the doors and switch the lights out.
I'm not in favour of this option.

Personally, the set up requires a complete restructuring across the board for UKMOC to move forward, which would allow the first two options to be viable.

Moving away from DOC makes most sense. I've always thought Bologna, over a period of time, would want more control over any affiliated club.The

I think we have time to come up with a viable plan, rather than make a hasty decision.
